Abstract
A variety of uses are stronger when integrated together than apart. By integrating
a community college into a mixed-use redevelopment of a strip mall, I am resolving
two distinct problems: fragmentation in edge cities and the town-gown isolation
of conventional campus planning. I propose that the design of a hybrid mixed-use
public space and college quad condenses this dual problem into a singular
social space. This will allow for a variety of people with different backgrounds and
experiences to interact within a dynamic environment elevating both the college
and the community.
